As an avowed metal
head and medical
student, I feel the
need to correct you,
metal fans 'Give up
the horns' which is
a raising of the
index finger and
little finger of a
clenched fist,
popularised by
former Black Sabbath
singer Ronnie James
Dio and thought to
represent Satan's
horns. The thumb
and little finger is
some kind of hippy
peacenik thing, not
a metal head sign.

Not the first time Lancet has been experimenting with drugs... This
is the institution that presented Wakefield's fraud to the world in
1998, which is still causing illness and death in the pockets of
unvaccinated kids today. Okay, that was a cheap shot, I can't know
how easy it was to tell as a reviewer that he "doctored" the data to
make money off alternatives to vaccines. Sorry my comment off-topic
too (it's fresh in my mind since measles cases are popping up a lot
in my area), but there is one possible common thread: together with
today's report it makes me wonder about the culture and history of
this journal..

"A new investigation
into Dr. Andrew
Wakefield’s hotly
contested MMR-autism
study concluded
there was no fraud
committed by Dr.
Wakefield. At least
28 studies from
around the world
support Dr.
Wakefield’s
controversial
findings; Dr.
Wakefield has also
published dozens of
peer-reviewed papers
looking at the
mechanism and cause
of inflammatory
bowel disease, and
has extensively
investigated the
brain-bowel
connection in the
context of children
with developmental
disorders such as
autism. Growing
research is now
supporting the link
between
gastrointestinal
disturbances and
autism; it could be
that if your child
has suboptimal gut
flora, vaccines can
become the
proverbial "last
straw"—the trigger
that sends his/her
immune system over
the edge into the
development of
chronic heath
problems." - Dr
Mercola.

Very good comment Mr Gever, you got a smile out of me.
Question to the jersian readers, Was that picture taken at The Stone Pony or at the Wonder Bar?.

Quoting Mercola to defend Wakefield is like quoting Cheney to defend Bush..

Agree with Bob
Finn, any doctor
that is prominently
featured on
quackwatch.org
isn't the best one
to cite to support
the "science" of a
discredited anti-
vaccination "researc
her"..

I would disagree
that Lancet has
lacked a sense of
humor.
I still have what is
my favorite ad for
any medical journal:
it was for the
Lancet and showed
Gene Wilder in
"Young Frankenstein"
reading a copy on
the train to
Transylvania. The ad
pointed at it that
it showed how far
reaching its
readership was..
